According what I heard, it was not any "canonical objections" against Fr. Akakije from Abp Kallinikos, he only said "he is not prepared to be Bishop", so our Bishop Germongen asked him about canonical objections which forgive Fr. Akakije to be ordained as a bishop, again Abp. Kallinikos said "he is not prepared to be Bishop", it is not a canonical objection . Anyway, soon we will do a official statement about the whole of matter. I also know other details, therefore, now, I am able to say that for many time, Greeks were doing their besto for obstructing any self-administration of our Serbian brothers. And Greeks are not exactly the most suitable for speaking against the chauvinism.
Did Akakios and the 2 other Clerics with Him receive a Canonical release from their ArchBishop? Also within the Serbian GOC more Clerics were against this elevation does that come under consideration Batushka? The faithful have first hand knowledge of what is going on in Serbia,while most of us are drinking from the cool aid being served by the Akakian supporters thru mass media.
